Description
Our analysis is a direct top quark mass measurement where the mass is extracted from the reconstruction of the top quark decay products.The analysis operates on a lepton and jets final state in top quark pair event topology. Our analysis is based on a binned profile likelihood method which has been introduced to the top quark mass measurements at CMS during the LHC Run II data taking period.
This analysis strategy shows a great promise for an accurate direct top quark mass measurement. The connection to the top quark pole mass is however left as a somewhat open question.
